The Forex markets are open 24-hrs a day during most of the week, allowing forex traders a huge flexibility to enter their trades. And as long as the markets are open the prices will be constantly fluctuating as can be easily seen by looking at the forex charts. And it’s thanks to this fluctuations that traders can have profitable trades the whole day.
The charting software interprets the constantly changing prices by dividing this data into various time intervals. For each of these intervals the chart will show you the open and close price, along with the high and low price during the interval. Most software packages will allow you to see this price data by clicking on the spot of the chart where you want to check these values.
One very interesting feature of these forex charts is that they will allow you to choose the time interval under which you will be trading. You may look at charts with time intervals going from ticks, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1 day.
What of these time intervals you use will depend mostly on the amount of time you want to spend monitoring your trade. For example if you want to monitor the trade for only a few hours you should use the 15 min charts. If you would like to enter a trade that will last for an entire day then you should better use the 30 min charts. And if you want to have a trade that stays open during days you should choose the 1 day charts.
Of course the lengths of the trades can vary, and the time interval you see is only a first approximation indicator of how long your trade will stay open.
One more issue with the length of the intervals is how much you will make, in average, per trade. The longer the interval the most profitable the trade will be compared with a short interval. But on the other hand shorter intervals allow for a greater number of trades that will compound and maybe surpass the profitability of the longer intervals.

It is interesting how group income protection is rising in
popularity by the day in the corporate world. It just goes to
show that the protection of an employee’s income is important to
both the individual and the employer. In fact in some cases it
may impact the company much more than it impacts the individual
more so if the person was a key member of staff.
But what exactly is group income protection insurance?
Group income protection insurance is a cover that offers both
the employer and the employee protection against sudden illness
or injury on the employee that would incapacitate them or make
him or her unable to work. Group Income protection covers a
portion of an employee’s salary should illness or injury prevent
eligible employees from working.
As the name suggests, this kind of insurance cover is usually
taken out with entire groups of employees at an organization or
company in mind. It is extremely useful to the organization
itself that would usually have to suffer the double tragedy of
both losing the skills of the staff member and still having to
dig deep into its’ pockets to meet the costs that are associated
with the employees incapacitation.
For a relatively small premium, an organization can adequately
cover itself against the pitfalls and inconvenience associated
with any of it’s employees sudden disability and even death.
Apart from peace of mind, this kind of cover is extremely
attractive to employers because it gives an organization the
ability to attract and retain top notch talent with the income
loss cover being one of the employee benefits. This can make a
huge difference, giving an organization a clear edge where they
may be competing with other entities and establishments for the
talents and skills of certain individuals that they would like
to join their work force.
